Qianxinan Prefecture: Promote Social Harmony with the "Sunshine Project", a New Initiative of Anti-Drug Work (5)

Employee Song Xiangjin in Yinggui Garment Factory, one of the “Sunshine Project” enterprises in Xingren County said gladly: “I finally got a job. With the income to support my life, my wife no longer quarrels with me, and I can become respectful in the society. I once successfully quitted the drug habits, but the employer closed the door upon me when he learned about my drug experience. I was unable to find a job and had nothing to do all day long. As a result, I started using drugs again when my family lost patience with me. The national policy is so great. I must cherish the job the government has given me. I know it is not easy for people like us to find a job.”

Zhang Yongsheng, a drug rehab patient in Xingren Community, after successfully getting rid of drugs, opened up a “Yuyou Fisheries Shop” under the support of the local narcotics control departments and the street committee. He now earns more than 6,000 yuan monthly for the fisheries business. When Wang Jianping, leader of the Anti-Drug Detachment of the Prefecture Public Security Bureau visited him, he said gladly: “Thank you! My life could not have been like today without your support and help!”

While carrying the activities themed “police entering every household to ensure peace and safety” aiming at maintaining the Party’s purity, the narcotics control department of Qianxinan Prefecture purposely visited some of the employees placed in the “Sunshine Project” enterprises and their families to understanding their living and working situations, listen to the comments of the family members on the in-process “Sunshine Project”, and actively asked for their advices and suggestions. When the policemen from the narcotics control department visited the parents of Zuo Guohua, an employee at Yinggui Garment Factory, and told the two old people about the policies concerning the “Sunshine Project” being implemented by Guizhou Province, the over-70-years-old couple were suddenly filled with tears, and expressed their extreme gratitude for the arrangement of the government for the “drug ghosts” to work in enterprises, for not abandoning them. They said emotionally: "Only the Communist Party can do such good deeds. We dared not even imagine these things.” Because of sufficient publicity work and proper motivation, a gratifying scene emerged where wives send husbands, and fathers send sons to work in the “Sunshine Project” enterprises.
